Slow travel is a state of mind. I like that notion. I understand that concept. It isn’t necessarily about time spent in a place, it’s about how you spend time in a place. It’s about absorbing what’s a...
Mushroom Hunting in Spain 21 Aug 2013 | 08:56 pm
The pungent odour of mushrooms is intoxicating as Marc lifts up handful after handful of morels, mousseron and ceps for us to smell. It’s enough to make you want to tear your clothes off and roll nake...
A Mindreading Waiter in Konoba Menego in Hvar 19 Aug 2013 | 04:05 pm
“I know you had the Croatian artichoke speciality at Mate’s for lunch, so I won’t recommend that.” The waiter’s opening line stopped us in our tracks. It was a first. We’ve never been in a restaurant...

Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Tucked away in the top of a wardrobe are a couple of pairs of baggy cotton trousers and a load of tops that, although not quite dashiki or tie-dye, are of a certain ‘...

Maybe the reason I never feel fully relaxed in Marrakech is because of the bar scene or, more precisely, absence of good, local bars. Throwing back a friendly beer whose sides are slippery with conde...
The Lion Monument of Lucerne 9 Aug 2013 | 01:27 pm
In a former quarry in the city of Lucerne, carved into the sandstone face of a cliff, is a dying lion with a broken spear through his heart and his paw draped over a shield bearing the fleur-de-lis em...
An Afternoon in Agaete and Puerto de las Nieves on Gran Canaria 8 Aug 2013 | 06:12 pm
